Bangor Town - Foy Vance

I set my sails

And betrothed, the wind will guide me

To draw upon the North East shore

Of the emerald island

County Down

Where Bangor town

Is now and forever calling

And recalls me by the shore

At peace

In silence

I sit down by the water

And I glory at my host

Let the rivers roll over like lovers

Oh brothers and sisters and I

Good lord you know we need it most

Our minds are tethered but our hearts are wild

In Bangor town

County Down

Let Joys abound

Back in Fealtys bar on High Street

Where we’ll raise a glass to all a fair tomorrow

We’ll be found

Amidst the sound

Of our laughter ever roaring

As we drink our fill where once

We drowned our sorrows

I sit down by the water

And I glory at my host

Let the rivers roll over like lovers

Oh brothers and sisters and I

Good lord you know we need it most

Our minds are tethered but our hearts are wild

In Bangor town

County Down

And where Jerry wails

Writing signs outside the Helmsman

Beware you passers by what lays inside there

Oh he testified

And Julie cried, reminiscing on her story

Surrounded once by glory now by violence

I sit down by the water

And I glory at my host

Let the rivers roll over like lovers

Oh brothers and sisters and I

Good lord you know we need it most

Our minds are tethered but our hearts are wild

In Bangor town

County Down
